What's interesting is the style of writing - very short sentences, words of few syllables. https://readability-score.com/ indicates it has a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 7.9 - it read fast, and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey it took us on.

#450, 100 years from now, Larry Page (if he's even dead yet) will be remembered as one of the more impactful people in human history.

#5Early Googler here. It's funny how often the story of the mass-firing is misreported. This article gets two basic facts wrong:
1) Larry was targeting engineering management, not project management.
2) Nobody was fired. The engineering managers shifted to pure engineering roles (an easy move, since they all had technical backgrounds).
On many teams, the managers continued managing, but they did it more discreetly, taking care to stay out of Larry's way. A year or so later, after the engineering staff had doubled in size, it became clear hat it wasn't practical for one VP (Wayne Rosing) to have 200 direct reports, and engineering management came back out of the shadows.

Journalists have a tendency of portraying figures in tech circles as being on the spectrum, while very often that isn't the case.

Just to clarify what you mean by "on the spectrum", do you mean the mental illness one? It's a new expression for me and searching only came up with things related to autism, etc.

Humans need their narrative. It doesn't make for good storytelling if a situation is muddled and people's changes of heart are only by a small degree.

Yes, he means autism.
